The candles were wasting slowly
through another night. The men had
exchanged places. Seymour sat wan
and thoughtful in the arm chair; Jane
way lay stretched upon the bed. His
face was white and a clammy moisture
lay on his brow. He breathed family
and seemed not to suffer much. When
the night had mostly worn away his
eyes unclosed and looking up he recog-
nized the other.
Why are you here?" he whispered.
"Go-at once"
Seymour hesitated.
II will wait until you are better. If
you will tell me what to do"
$50, go!'' The husky voice was one
of entreaty. $50 back to her; she must
not grieve day"
"But-"
$50 quickly. There is something
she should know. She must not know
you saw me here; give your solemn
promise not to tell her that" III
"Why?"
eff you wish it, yes"
"When you and l met last, back in
America, five long years ago, was
poor, very poor, just struggling with
the world, you remember. After that
after you and She" he gasped and
breathed hard for some moments, then
began again. "After you and she went
away there was some money left me.
My will was made long since Half is
for her-for Amy: half for you when
you have married her again, for sup.
pose she is your wife," s.
Seymour had started up. ~
"No, no. not that! Leave her what
you will, but don't-don't-I wronged
you. God knows you ought to curse
me. You-you are not dying"
Hushv' Janeway moved feebly.
"Only go. I bear no malice if she be
happy" His voice failed for time.
When it came again he whispered that
priest be brought or sister.
Seymour looked about him in a
dazed way. He strove to collect his
thoughts. He trembled and gazed
fearfully up at the walls and ceiling as
if they might fall upon him. -
He crept dizzily down the silent
street where day must break ere long.
AS yet the sky was blue with the night
unpierced by any star. The air was
thick and sultry., -
He crept along the narrow street
as rapidly as possible. What little
strength he had was miraculous. At
moments he wondered if this was not a
dream.
He must find aid or return alone.
A thin and greenish ray pierced the
eastern sky. When this had widened
to golden stream, rose tinged, he had
sought and found a meek-faced sister.
They returned as quickly as his weak
ness would permit.
The room was still; the mornings s
earliest rose light trembled on the wall
The lifted curtain futtered in the Win
dow frame.
Janeway was breathing family, his
eyes unclosed and his gaze slowly
sought the countenance of the nun
His pinthed features softened, child's
smile came upon his lips. He lifted
his head, as if yearning toward some
unseen face. z==-z- -......

The rose light still trembled on the
wall; the curtain fluttered softly.
"In pace" said the nun. crossing
herself and kneeling. -

The Moorish waters will soon witness an
assembling of men-of-war of all countries

and it is possible that the participants are

programme is extremely vague, and very
dangerous. France and Spain, which
alone have direct and positive interests

Morocco from becoming second Bulgaria

The Journal expresses the hope that the

thing that can happen for Morocco.
